24 hours in Nelson

Nick and I went over to Nelson for a quick 24 hour visit to see family and friends. It was all very rushed but managed to get lots done :)

We arrived on Saturday evening and had dinner with Nick's family, all very nice. The next morning with breaky with both families but first we took Meg for a walk. She's 14 now but still very spritely!


The walk was in the local cemetery. All very relaxing except the local PD workers were out in force, mainly just smoking and spitting, with the occasional sweeping of leaves. For those not in NZ, PD stands for Periodic Detension - they've basically doing community service for being bad!




We saw a Kingfisher on the way back from the walk which is always nice




After breakfast we went into town, bit of shopping and caught up with Michelle, Simon and Penguino's ice cream.

After more discussion about stuff we need for our Thailand trip we headed to Mum's for fish and chips, and a few games of whist (cards) before heading to the airport

We had AWESOME views from the plan on the way home :)
And some turbulence just before we landed in Welly too :D

Great trip to too rushed really - next time will be longer
